    What are the lyrics to The Flower of Scotland?

    O Flower of Scotland,When will we seeYour like again,That fought and died for,Your wee bit Hill and Glen,And stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    The Hills are bare now,And Autumn leaveslie thick and still,O’er land that is lost now,Which those so dearly held,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    Those days are past now,And in the pastthey must remain,But we can still rise now,And be the nation again,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again. More

    Why are Man Utd and Leeds football rivals and why is it considered a derby?

    MANCHESTER UNITED versus Leeds is a footballing derby which stretches back over a century.But given they are not even from the same city, the rivalry is not an obvious one – yet there are multiple reasons why there is so much ferocity in this match-up.

    You could trace the rivalry all the way back to the War of the Roses, a war that resulted in the House of Lancaster – with its red rose – taking the throne and the Tudor dynasty became etched into English history.
    A sort of dynasty then existed between Old Trafford and Elland Road in the 1960s as Bobby and Jack Charlton grew as titans of their respective clubs.
    The Red Devils had Sir Bobby at their disposal alongside George Best and Denis Law, while Leeds were blessed with his brother defender-brother Jack alongside Billy Bremner, known as “King Billy”.
    One of the moments which epitomised the rivalry came in 1997 when Manchester United legend Roy Keane lunged in on superstar striker Erling Haaland’s father Alfe Inge Haaland, and up breaking his own ACL in the process.
    And then four years later, Keane would execute his revenge by ending Haaland’s career by stamping on the Norwegian’s knee after he had moved to Manchester City.
    In total, the clubs have met each other 110 times with the Red Devils holding the current bragging rights, having almost double the amount of wins, but when the Whites were relegated from the Premier League in 2004, it put their rivalry on pause.
    Now for the first time in 19 years, the nation will get to witness Manchester United travel to Elland Road WITH fans.
    The last time the two sides played the Manchester United team featured names like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Darren Fletcher and Tim Howard, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, who is back at the club.
    Meanwhile, Daniel James will be a familiar face in the Leeds team against the club he started the season at.

    What is the head to head record?

    Leeds United have competitively taken on Manchester United a total of 110 times.
    Leeds United wins – 36
    Manchester United wins – 48
    Draws – 36

    Number of cards in this fixture

    For such a fierce rivalry this game surprisingly hasn’t seen a lot of yellow or red cards.
    Statistics show that there has only been two red cards in the last 27 matches.
    It also produces the lowest yellow cards per game amongst any derby (3.26) with the North London derby having the highest (4.15)

    What is the difference between horsehair and foam-padded boxing gloves? Khan vs Brook glove dispute explained

    BOXING often throws up plenty of disagreement and conflict, especially between some of the sport’s biggest stars on fight week. And this is the case in the Amir Khan vs Kell Brook bout in Manchester.

    One particularly contentious part of fight week is glove selection, where both fighters and their respective camps will inspect and choose the gloves they will where on fight night.
    Often, this is a smooth process, but as seen with Tyson Fury’s third fight with Deontay Wilder, it’s not always plain-sailing.
    Wilder had already thrown accusations about the legality of Fury’s gloves for their second fight in 2020, and the Bronze Bomber wasn’t happy when Fury selected the same style of glove for the trilogy.
    Fury famously wears horsehair material gloves, while Wilder has worn foam padding in his throughout his career, and both are legal.
    But who do fighters get so antsy over glove selection? SunSport have rounded up all you need to know about one of the key formalities of fight week, and the differences between the two types of glove.

    What is the difference between horsehair and foam-padded boxing gloves?
    It sounds self-explanatory – one gloves has horsehair in it, the other has foam.
    But the use of horsehair in gloves, a tradition nearly as old as the sport, has been hotly-contested in recent years.
    Horsehair padding provides the glove with less protection to both your hands, and your opponent’s face, therefore it favours those in the ring who consider themselves to be a knockout artist, or someone with really heavy hands.
    Horsehair gloves are durable, though they absorb sweat easier, thus wearing the padding down quicker than that of their foam relatives.
    Dubbed a ‘puncher’s glove’ horsehair gloves are often used by fighters with a come-forward Mexican style of fighting, or those seeking stoppages in their fights, much like Fury did against Wilder.
    Fury wore Paffen branded gloves for both the rematch and the trilogy against Wilder, after he employed Kronk coach SugarHill Steward to train him to KO the American.
    Paffen gloves use horsehair padding, unlike the majority of modern boxing gloves which use foam padding.

    Following their second fight, in which Wilder was stopped in seven rounds, the Alabama native complained Fury’s gloves had an insufficient amount of padding in them, and that Fury’s punches left a dent in his face.
    Wilder usually wears Everlast Powerlock gloves, which uses a PVC foam and latex material for padding.
    Foam padded gloves have become more popular over the past two decades, as they keep your hands protected and they absorb shock better than horsehair gloves do.
    Once Wilder found out that Fury would be using the same gloves for their trilogy, however, he opted to use Everlast MX instead, a horsehair-foam mix, in order to even the playing field.
    Another fighter who was opposed to horsehair gloves was Floyd Mayweather, who often had it written into his fight contracts that his opponents weren’t allowed to use gloves with that type of padding.
    Conor McGregor was famously banned from using horsehair for their fight back in 2017.

    And Marcos Maidana had to change his gloves from horsehair to foam in 2014 on fight week after Mayweather came away from glove inspection less than impressed with the Argentine’s choice of glove.
    Maidana ended up wearing Grant branded gloves, which Mayweather wore for most of his storied career.
    Grant gloves are known as the best gloves on the market for those who want their hands to be ultra-protected, and they were perfect for Mayweather, who often suffered with hand injuries.

    What is a catchweight in boxing and UFC?

    BOXING and MMA are sports jam-packed with fighters of all different shapes and sizes. And it’d be foolish to have anyone fight whoever they please, regardless of their physical size or stature, so weight classes were introduced.

    In boxing, there are 17 different weight divisions, starting at strawweight and ending all the way up in the sport’s blue-riband division, heavyweight.
    In the UFC, the world’s largest MMA organisation, there are 12 weight classes, eight for the male fighters and four the females.
    But what happens when two fighters can’t agree to a fight in a particular weight class? Introducing the catchweight…
    What is a catchweight in combat sports?
    A catchweight is the weight agreed to by both participants in a fight which is stipulated to take place outside of the exciting weight classes in the sport.
    This weekend, Amir Khan takes on Kell Brook in a huge Brit grudge clash, and although both have fought their careers from super-lightweight all the way up to super-welterweight, the pair won’t be fighting in any of those.
    Instead, the fight is taking place at 149lbs, which is two pounds above the standard welterweight limit.
    Catchweights are agreed to in a contract and they’re usually brought in to accommodate a fighter who struggles to make weight, with the opposing fighter unlikely to want to move up a full weight class.
    Should a fighter weigh-in heavier than the agreed-to weight class, there are usually purse charges in place as punishment.
    In the case of Khan and Brook, if either fighter misses the 149lb limit, it’s been reported that they face a huge six-figure fine for their troubles.
    Catchweight fights don’t happen as often in the UFC as they do in boxing, but there have still been some instances.
    Current featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski fought at a 150lbs catchweight against Shane Young in 2017, taking the fight on a weeks notice.

    Scotland national anthem lyrics: Words to The Flower of Scotland for the Six Nations 2022

    SCOTLAND are out for Six Nations glory for the first time since 1999.And you can rest assured their national song, the Flower of Scotland, will be belted out proudly before the game.
    Scotland line up for the national anthemCredit: PA
    What are the lyrics to The Flower of Scotland?

    O Flower of Scotland,When will we seeYour like again,That fought and died for,Your wee bit Hill and Glen,And stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    The Hills are bare now,And Autumn leaveslie thick and still,O’er land that is lost now,Which those so dearly held,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    Those days are past now,And in the pastthey must remain,But we can still rise now,And be the nation again,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again. More
